It’s our 50th episode! Recorded on Friday, July 5th, 2024 at 2:00 pm CST. Live from CONvergence 2024 in Minneapolis, Minnesota from the Hyatt Regency in the Nicollet Ballroom, Jennifer and Greg welcome back to the show series creator, Greg Weisman; Thom Adcox (the voice of Lexington); Brigitte Bako (the voice of Angela); and we welcome to the show for the first time, Zehra Fazal – the inspiration and voice of Shari!
We talk about Zehra going from fan to pro and how she influenced the creation of Shari in the SLG and Dynamite comic books. We also discuss Thom Adcox’s influence on how gargoyles sound, Brigitte Bako and her time in the industry as an actress, a writer, a producer, and a series creator all her own (and her hilarious Breaking Bad story!). Greg Weisman discusses working with all of these people, striving for representation on Gargoyles and his other shows. All of this and more!
Jennifer and Greg also celebrate fifty episodes and what doing this podcast has meant to them.

Our Monday recap includes everything from the drafted teams to Sports Center Top 10 catches in the outfield.
 The morning started off with a practice that was meant to loosen up the muscles, but what it turned into was a tryout for the campers to be scouted by their favorite coaches. The looming worry about the lunch time draft left players diving for fly balls, swinging the bat to hit the ball to the moon, and straining muscles they didn’t even know they had. It was as if they were that little kid again in gym class, waiting for their name to be called onto a team. Don’t fret campers, everyone gets drafted! Participation trophies for all!
 The doors then closed and the coaching staff got started on the draft. The room was tense as each name was taken and put onto the board. Victor Rodriguez and Frank Viola got into a scrum over a player who they thought would lead them to the 2020 Fantasy Camp Championship. Trot and Dauber whispered side by side, strategically planning their next move. Alan Embree talked up players he knew nothing about to try and throw off next round choices, but the group caught on to his guerrilla warfare tactics. El Tiante fell asleep.

  The teams got together, sang a cheer, and headed out to the fields to try and win their first regular season match.
 The Bombers and Heroes had a close game in the main stadium. The campers got fired up as their name could be heard over the loud speakers walking up to the plate. Each team was facing the sun in the outfield. Their chances of catching any fly balls was slim. Against all odds, they rose to the occasion! There were multiple catches made that had the crowd jumping up and down, cheering in pure amazement. Steve Wolfe (Awwwoooooooo) made an unbelievable, almost backwards, snag in the right center. The Heroes were able to rally and win 4-6.
 Sabe’s Babes and Wins & Saves was a different story. Wins and Saves crushed the Babes, 14-6. Bret Saberhagen was seen shedding a tear in the dugout after the game, while coach Tom Gordon flipped the Gatorade cooler. Yikes… Wins & Saves, congrats on the first game W and welcome to the winner’s circle- for now.
 The Legends and the Outlaws had 27 runs all together. These games were coach pitched. Maybe our coaches should get some more practice in before lobbing the ball over the plate. Campers, take it while you can! That was just a warm up. Embree’s Outlaws outlasted the Legends, and came away with the 15-12 victory.
 Something must have been in the water at JetBlue Park yesterday morning, because there was another 29 run game. Stanley’s Steamers and Corsi’s Fireballers went neck and neck, fighting until the last inning. Corsi was seen pacing the dugout, almost about the charge the Ump, at every play. After last camp, Corsi was longing for a team that could win a game. And gosh dammit, the Fireballers did not disappoint. His team ended the drought and won the game 15-14. Corsi, your luck may be changing!
 The last game was a blowout not usually seen during coach pitched games. Billy’s Ballgamers demolished Nixon’s DirtDogs 18-3. You heard it here folks, 18-3. Trot is known for pitching zingers against his own team, but was that the reasoning here? Or did Billy “Where’s the sunscreen?” Mueller and Keith “I need to take a nap” Foulke draft the dream team to beat?
 We’ll have to wait and see!

Where to play, stay and chill in Greater Palm Springs this Summer
By Paul Johnson on Jun 05, 2019 in Accommodation, Attractions, California, Food and Drink, Going Out, Hotels, North America, Regions, Restaurants, Travel Miscellany, USA
Sunrise hikes, mornings at the pool, midday spa retreats, mister-cooled dining al fresco, and dive-in movies under the stars—summer has arrived in Greater Palm Springs.
Ask any local or frequent warm weather guest, summer and fall in the oasis offer plenty of perks—unbeatable prices, super affordable family vacation packages, fewer crowds, and a host of water-centric activities like Splash House, an annual multi-venue music festival taking place June 7–9 and August 9–11. Held poolside at the Renaissance, Riviera and Saguaro resorts, the parties continue into the night with open air After Hours events at the Palm Springs Air Museum.
In June, film buffs can count on quality storytelling at the Palm Springs International Short Film Festival & Market (June 18­–24) as ‘ShortFest’ marks its 25th anniversary this year. Now the largest film festival in North America, the festival screens more than 300 short films and attracts filmmakers and industry players from around the world.
Looking ahead, Greater Palm Springs makes a great weekend base from which to experience Joshua Tree National Park’s fifth annual Night Sky Festival (September 21)—highlights include a Star Party with 20 telescopes, music, constellation tours and sky stories. In October, Wanderlust Wellspring (October 4­–6) returns to Palm Springs with a sensational array of interactive classes, workshops, holistic treatments, services and much more. Stay tuned for the line-up of wellness thought leaders, teachers and healers to be announced this month. Autumn also brings several more special events including the inimitable Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade (October 27), Greater Palm Springs Pride (November 1–3) and the second edition of Ironman 70.3 Indian Wells La Quinta (December 8).
Greater Palm Springs is currently undergoing a series of hospitality enhancements that will give travellers to our destination more tourism options and amenities than ever before. Twenty hotels and resorts have recently opened, refreshed their properties or are in development throughout our nine-city oasis. In the meantime,The Bell: A Taco Bell Hotel and Resort will be popping up in Palm Springs for five days beginning August 9.
Here is the latest on where to appreciate culture, savour, play and stay in the nine cities of Greater Palm Springs.
Desert Hot Springs
Appreciate culture
Step back in time at Cabot Yerxa’s Hopi-inspired Pueblo Museum. Greater Palm Springs has a rich Native American history still thriving today. This museum, built in 1941, is filled with Native American art and artifacts. Visitors can see how artist Cabot Yerxa built the pueblo himself, using objects and materials he collected across the desert.
Savour
Eat whole foods with a side of spa. Essence at famed Two Bunch Palms serves up a menu wholly focused on “sustainable, local, seasonal and organic” ingredients. The farm-to-table restaurant features vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free fare amid an atmosphere awash in serenity and scenic views.
Stay
Escape to an exotic riad reminiscent of Tangier. Retreat to El Morocco Inn & Spa, an intimate boutique hotel centered around a secluded courtyard and spa. The decor features a blend of color and furnishings, many of which the owner purchased in Morocco, including handmade fabrics from women’s co-ops. Amenities are generous—from the French press coffee accompanying an expanded continental breakfast to a movie library, infrared sauna, spa garden, and perfectly chilled Morocco-tinis.
Palm Springs
Appreciate culture
Agua Caliente cultural center and spa will open in 2020. The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians is in the midst of building a spectacular new center in downtown Palm Springs to showcase its Native American heritage. When complete, the center will feature a new cultural museum, spa and bathhouse that celebrates the Tribe’s ancient Agua Caliente hot mineral spring, a central gathering plaza, gardens and walking trail.
Savour
Gather under the clock for good cheer and great food. Housed in a restored 1936 building in La Plaza downtown, Grand Central Palm Springs is a combination coffee shop, restaurant, bar and event space with a warm welcoming setting that invites diners to unplug and reconnect. You’ll find a fresh take on old favorites—stop by for breakfast and order your French Toast sweet or savoury — and even a monthly coffee membership for that much-needed daily jolt.
Stay
Andaz Palm Springs to open in late 2019. Listed by Forbes as one of “The Most Exciting Hotels Opening in the U.S. in 2019,” this new 150-room luxury hotel is bound to entice travellers with its full-floor spa and fitness center, two pools, stylish restaurant serving up Argentinian fare and stunning views almost everywhere you turn.
Cathedral City
Appreciate culture
See Broadway-caliber productions and performances at CVRep. Following an active schedule of summertime jazz and cabaret offerings, the acclaimed CVRep has four exciting offerings on tap for the upcoming season: Donald Margulies’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play Dinner with Friends (November 6­–24), Tony Award-winning musical Ballroom (January 9–February 16, 2020), The City of Conversation (March 11–29, 2020) and Native Gardens (April 22­­­–May 10, 2020). Now located in its new 208-seat playhouse, CVRep is wowing locals and visitors alike.
Savour
Embark on a globally inspired culinary tour. Cathedral City’s diverse ethnic food scene boasts both hotspots and hidden gems laying out a smorgasbord of delectable dishes. Crave Italian? Reserve a table at Trilussa, Nicolino’s or stop by Frankie’s Italian Bakery (also a restaurant) for out-of-this-world Sicilian-style pastries. For authentic Mexican food, visit La Tablita known for its signature parillada, go Greek at Yianni’s Taverna and Wine Bar, or try BontáRestaurant & Bar for an inventive menu combining German, Argentinian and Italian cuisine. Fans of Indian food will find a wide selection of dishes at India Oven. Top it off all off with a frozen paleta at La Michoacana Ice Cream Parlor.
Stay
Whitewashed Villa Mykonos caters to the LGBTQ traveller. This upscale Mediterranean-inspired Cathedral City resort features ten 1,500 square foot villas—some pet-friendly—with dual master suites, luxe bathrooms, fully equipped kitchens, dining and living areas, and private patios or balconies. The pool, spa and BBQ areas make it easy for guests to mingle and entertain outdoors.
Rancho Mirage
Appreciate culture
Tour famed Sunnylands Center and Gardens. In 1963, Ambassador Walter and Mrs. Annenberg commissioned the construction of Sunnylands as their winter home; the rest is literally history. Today, visitors can tour the historic mid-century modern estate, viewing treasures like the more than 3,000 letters from 11 presidents dating from Dwight D. Eisenhower to Barack Obama. The Sunnylands campus also encompasses a contemporary 17,000-square-foot visitors center, nine acres of gardens, and 1.25 miles of walking paths. But Sunnylands’ relevance in the world of global politics can’t be understated. U.S. Presidents have hosted numerous meetings with foreign leaders earning Sunnylands the nickname of the ‘Western White House’. Please note that Sunnylands is now on summer hiatus and will reopen September 11 with tours resuming in the fall.

The Hotel Hackers Are Hiding in the Remote Control Curtains
Three men dressed for business travel in jeans and dress shirts loaded backpacks into the trunk of a black coupe and wound their way through the center of a major European city. When they arrived at their hotel, they unloaded their luggage and waited giddily to pass through the revolving doors. They were checking into the hotel to hack it.
Hackers target financial institutions because that’s where the money is, and they target retail chains because that’s where people spend the money. Hotels might be a less obvious target, but they’re hacked almost as often because of the valuable data that passes through them, like credit cards and trade secrets. Thieves have targeted electronic door locks to burgle rooms and used malware attacks to log credit card swipes in real time. They’ve even used Wi-Fi to hijack hotels’ internal networks in search of corporate data. Just about all of the industry’s major players have reported breaches, including Hilton Worldwide Holdings, InterContinental Hotels Group, and Hyatt Hotels.
Tumblr media
The group’s leader checked in at the front desk. One of his associates strolled along the length of the reception area, noting that the property used an outdated point-of-sale system, and another used a mobile app called Fing to scan for hidden networks. While they waited for the staff to finish preparing their room, the hackers took coffee on a terrace. They opened up the published code for the hotel website and exploited an outdated plug-in to compile a list of admin names.
Ultimately they were looking for a door. Sure, they could slip a thumb drive into the neglected register at the far end of the restaurant bar and log credit card numbers until somebody noticed the device. But they would rather find a way into the property management system, or PMS, which hotels use to take reservations, issue room keys, and store credit card data.
Better still would be to do what they did at a hotel in New York City. After plugging the internet cable from the room’s smart TV into a laptop, they got into the hotel’s PMS, which led to the chain’s corporate system. Emails Bloomberg Businessweek viewed show they gained access to credit card information for years’ worth of transactions across dozens of hotels.
If they had been crooks, the team would have sold the information on the black market, where a Visa with a high limit can go for about $20. These hackers, however, were good guys: IT consultants who were frustrated with their hospitality clients’ lax approach to security. To demonstrate the industry’s weaknesses, their leader arranged for a reporter to tag along on an audit of one of his clients’ hotels. The conditions: The hackers wouldn’t break into the personal devices of hotel guests, and neither the hotel, the city, nor the hackers could be named.
Once they got to their room, the hackers concentrated on finding the hotel’s internal network—the one used by staff, not the one guests use to stream pornography and FaceTime their families. In one famous example, hackers breached the internet-connected fish tank in the lobby of a Las Vegas casino and used that exploit to find a database of high rollers on the property’s internal network.
But this room was an older make, with a dumb TV, old phones, and a standard minibar, equipped with Heineken and Toblerone but no internet. Then one of the hackers started rooting around in the window frame. Nestled in a top corner was an internet port, designed to let guests open and close the curtains by remote control.
Tumblr media
“This will be the way in,” the leader said.
How much of the responsibility for guarding electronic transmissions lies with hotels and how much with guests is “a nasty philosophical question,” says Mike Wilkinson, global director at Trustwave SpiderLabs. Mark Orlando, chief technology officer for cybersecurity at Raytheon IIS, advises corporate clients to avoid using personal devices altogether while on the road. That could mean requesting a loaner laptop or buying a burner phone. Even ordinary travelers should use virtual private networks to connect to the internet when outside the U.S., he says.
But no amount of personal digital security could have saved travelers from the massive attack Marriott International Inc. discovered last year. In early September 2018, an automated security tool flagged a suspicious query in the reservation database for Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., a company Marriott had acquired two years earlier. In the weeks that followed, security investigators discovered a remote access trojan (RAT), software that lets hackers take control of a target computer, as well as another piece of malware that scours computer memory for usernames and passwords.
Clues left behind by the digital trespassers suggest they made off with as many as 383 million guest records, as well as more than 5 million unencrypted passport numbers and more than 9 million encrypted payment cards. Marriott hasn’t found any evidence of customer data showing up on dark-web marketplaces, CEO Arne Sorenson told a Senate committee hearing in March. That sounds like good news but may actually be bad. The lack of commercial intent indicated to security experts that the hack was carried out by a government, which might use the data to extrapolate information about politicians, intelligence assets, and business leaders.
“From an intelligence standpoint, there are some real advantages to understanding where high-profile people are going to be ahead of time,” says Gates Marshall, director of cyber services at CompliancePoint Inc., whose consulting clients include airports. “There’s a market for travel itineraries. It’s not a commercial market, it’s more of a geopolitical one.”
Sorenson has said he doesn’t know who’s responsible for the attack—and likely never will. Others have been more willing to point the finger, including U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who attributed the hack to China in an interview with Fox & Friends in December.
Hospitality companies long saw technology as antithetical to the human touch that represented good service. The industry’s admirable habit of promoting from the bottom up means it’s not uncommon to find IT executives who started their careers toting luggage. Former bellboys might understand how a hotel works better than a software engineer, but that doesn’t mean they understand network architecture.
There’s also a structural issue. Companies such as Marriott and Hilton are responsible for securing brand-wide databases that store reservations and loyalty program information. But the task of protecting the electronic locks or guest Wi-Fi at an individual property falls on the investors who own the hotels. Many of them operate on thin margins and would rather spend money on things their customers actually see, such as new carpeting or state-of-the-art televisions.
The result is a messy technological ecosystem that runs on old software. Many hotels use Opera, sold by Oracle Corp., as their PMS. A common version was designed for a legacy Windows operating system, and directs users to disable security features to make the software work. An instruction manual for the software starts with a step-by-step guide on how to lower your defenses: First, turn off data execution prevention, a feature that protects system memory from malicious code. Next, deactivate user account control, making it easier for hackers to gain administrator privileges. Finally, disable Windows Firewall. Now you’re ready to book reservations and take credit card payments. (Oracle’s security guide advises users to “harden” their operating systems after installation.)
Even worse, many hotels put their PMS online, letting hackers break in from thousands of miles away. Joshua Motta, CEO of cyber insurer Coalition Inc., ran a search of the admin page used to support Opera online and found 1,300 instances of the application running on the public internet, from Newfoundland to the Maldives. “All of a sudden your system is only as secure as a username and password,” Motta says, “which hackers have repeatedly shown isn’t terribly effective.” “Customers are encouraged to upgrade their systems and software to the most recent version to provide the highest level of security measures available,” says Oracle spokeswoman Deborah Hellinger.
While hotels are struggling with basic cybersecurity, they’re building massive databases of personal behavior. One of the ironies of the Marriott breach is that the company acquired Starwood because Sorenson thought adding its popular loyalty program and fancy hotels would give him a moat against digital middlemen, who seek to collect fees for helping travelers find hotel rooms. Marriott’s new heft would give customers more incentive to book directly with the company, cutting out Expedia, Booking.com, and other online travel agencies, as well as advertising giants Google and Facebook.
At some properties, hotel brands are already collecting data on what temperature you like your room and how you like your eggs, betting that knowing that stuff can translate into better service. Other kinds of customer data—the annual conferences you attend or the date of your wedding anniversary—are largely untapped marketing opportunities. Some companies are also experimenting with putting voice assistants in their rooms or using facial recognition to streamline check-in. Privacy issues abound, but even more mundane advances are fraught with trade-offs between convenience and security. It’s increasingly common for travelers to check in to a hotel from a mobile app, bypass the front desk, and get into their room by using their phone as an electronic key.
In an interview in June, Sorenson said that the hack had forced his company to take a harder look at how it manages cybersecurity, adopting forensic tools that it used in the wake of discovering the breach as part of its daily security hygiene. He also argued that privacy issues are manageable.
“The information that we want and you may want us to have, that allows us to better serve you, is often not that sensitive,” he said. “The fact that you like feather pillows, or a low floor, or a high floor. Now it is personal. But we’re not collecting information about which man or woman you show up in our hotel with and whether one’s a spouse and one’s not.”
The internet-connected drapery hadn’t led the hackers into the hotel PMS, but it did set the team on a frenzied search for other connections. One hacker dragged a chair into the vestibule and balanced on the arms, the better to lift a mahogany ceiling panel. Another found an internet port in the ceiling of the walk-in closet. Only one problem: No one had brought a 10-foot cord.
“We should call housekeeping and ask for a ladder,” one of them said. “We’re trying to hack into your network,” he joked. “Can I have a ladder? Of course, sir. Is there anything else I can do for you? ” Instead, they balanced an ironing board on an ottoman, rested a laptop on top of it all, and plugged in, using a network scanner tool to search for IP addresses that looked as if they could be hosting the PMS.
While they waited to find a signal, they took stock of the failures and successes of the hotel’s defenses. All things told, the security was better than the team expected, but it was still disconcertingly porous given the presumption of safety most guests think they have inside a hotel. If they were actually trying to breach the network, they would have tried to crack the hotel staff’s accounts to try to take control of the hotel website. At a minimum, it would have let them collect credit card info from every new booking. Before they’d checked in to their room, the leader had used his phone’s hotspot to create a new Wi-Fi network, naming it after the hotel. Within minutes, six devices had joined his spoofed network, exposing their internet activity to the hackers. (If he really wanted to go after guests, he would have used a device called a Wi-Fi pineapple to automate the process.)
It wasn’t all bad. When one of the hackers asked a waitress to charge his phone, she went out of her way to plug the device into a wall charger instead of her computer. More important, the hotel’s internal network was well protected.
Impatient to speed up the process, the team leader called his office and had a colleague look up the correct IP range for the hotel network. The PMS, however, didn’t respond. The door was locked.
But then another door opened. One of the hackers used a kind of attack called a distributed denial of service to kick a guest device, “Jamie’s iPad,” off the hotel Wi-Fi. That could have been the prelude to tricking her iPad into joining the spoofed network, and snooping on her communications. On the bright side, the hackers might never find out what Jamie likes for breakfast.

As we continue our look back at 2018, I’ve put together a list of the 10 country music albums that I listened to the most this year.
I’ve added the most played song from each of the albums so you can get a taste of them if you don’t know them already. And if you do know them, hit play and sing along.
Just like on my pop and rock albums list, there’s a lot of Canadian content here. And just like on that list, I’m 100% okay with that!
Check out the list, the tracks that I listened to most from each album, my honourable mentions, and leave a comment with the country albums that you listened to most in 2018!
*albums listed alphabetically
Joshua’s 10 Most Listened to Albums of 2018 – Country!
🇨🇦 Andrew Hyatt: Cain
Most played track: Time For Lovin’ You
Hyatt’s EP is loaded with emotion, stories, and an overarching showcase of what this emerging star brings to country music. Be ready for more from him soon. But until then, turn down the lights, hit plan on Cain, and let it take you places.
Related: Cain – Andrew Hyatt EP Review
🇺🇸 Drake White: Pieces
Most played track: Girl In Pieces
Drake White is one of the most captivating performers I’ve seen in the last five years. And when he released Pieces, I had the chance to dig in, get hooked, and keep playing the record throughout the year. I love White’s voice, his vibe, and his style. Gimme more.
Related: Pieces – Drake White Album Review and Q&A
🇺🇸 Eric Church: Desperate Man 
Most played track: The Snake
Each and every time Eric Church releases an album, I will be here for it. The Chief has never let me down, and until he does, I’ll be playing albums like Desperate Man in high rotation when they come out. If you want to hear vintage Church, with the honesty, edge, and frankness that comes with it, put this album on and let it ride.
Related: Desperate Man – Eric Church Album Review
🇨🇦 Jessica Mitchell: Heart Of Glass
Most played track: Workin’ On Whiskey
Tom Petty said the waiting is the hardest part. When it comes to Jessica Mitchell’s debut album, he was right. Once it was released (and even before that when I got my hands on the preview stream) everything was easy. Hit play on Heart Of Glass, listen to the stories and the songs and feel the emotion and vulnerability in Mitchell’s voice. Then hit play again.
Related: Heart Of Glass – Jessica Mitchell Album Review
🇨🇦 Jess Moskaluke: Past The Past
Most played track: Camouflage
When Jess Moskaluke released Past The Past in November of 2017, it quickly became a repeat play album for me. From top to bottom, Moskaluke wins with these seven songs. As the calendar flipped to 2018, Camouflage became my go-to track from the album, hitting #11 on my Spotify Top 100 songs of the year list.
Related: Past The Past – Jess Moskaluke Album Review
🇨🇦 Kira Isabella: Side A
Most played track: Handcuffs
It had been too long (in my opinion) since we heard an album or EP from Kira Isabella, so when we would out that Side A was coming, I got ready. In the short time since its release, I’ve had Side A on a lot, and before its release, Danger, Danger and Little Girl were already on playlists I loved.
All five songs on the EP are worth a repeat listen, and Handcuffs, well turn it up and enjoy, it’s a lot of fun!
Related: Side A – Kira Isabella Review & Interview

🇨🇦 Lindsay Ell: The Project
Most played track: Waiting On You
Lindsay Ell released The Project in the middle of our coverage of Boots & Hearts 2017 – and it stopped us in our tracks. This album is a win, it has shown people exactly what Ell has to offer, and I still can’t get enough of it.
Duets with Keith Urban (Horses), Tim Hicks (The Worst Kind), Paul Brandt (Bittersweet), and Brantley Gilbert (What Happens In A Smalltown) all put Lindsay Ell’s voice in more ears this year too. When you’re done playing The Project, give all of those a listen.
Note: Special mention has to be given to Lindsay Ell for hitting #1 on the Canadian Country Radio charts with Criminal. She became the first Canadian woman since Terri Clark in 2008 to hit the top spot and should be celebrated accordingly.
Bonus: If you still haven’t listened to Lindsay Ell’s track by track cover of John Mayer’s Continuum, you’re missing out!
Related: The Project – Lindsay Ell Album Review
🇨🇦 Meghan Patrick: Country Music Made Me Do It
Most played track: Country Music Made Me Do It
The two-time reigning Canadian Country Music Association Female Artist of the Year winner released Country Music Made Me Do It in January, setting the tone for a big 2018.
When the album was released I said that it felt like “a more traditional country record that sounds like the music Meghan was influenced by in country as she grew up. It feels like a true, genuine, honest offering of songs that does exactly what country music does best: tells stories.”. All of those feelings hold true 11 months later, and this record is still awesome.
Note: We have to also give Meghan Patrick a special mention for hitting #1 with Walls Come Down. It’s an incredible achievement, her first #1, and by joining Lindsay Ell, we have seen two Canadian women reach the top of the Canadian country radio charts in the same year since Terri Clark and Shania Twain in 1999.
Related: Country Music Made Me Do It – Meghan Patrick Album Review
🇨🇦 The Reklaws: Feels Like That 
Most played track: Long Live The Night
Jenna and Stuart Walker have been putting in work, building on their talent, preparing for their opportunity to make an impact in Canadian country music. They’ve done it now!
The Reklaws had a huge 2018, with TSN’s Thursday Night Football love, a performance at the Grey Cup, the Canadian Country Music Association’s Rising Star Award, and a #6 single with Long Live The Night. We’ve been all-in on these two since day one, and with seven songs in a collection, I can listen to as often as we want, I’m a happy dude.
Related: Universal Music Canada CCMA Showcase with The Reklaws
🇨🇦 Tim Hicks: New Tattoo
Most played track: The Worst Kind
I had the chance to talk to Tim Hicks about New Tattoo on the day it was released, and the day after we’d heard him play through the songs at The Hideout in Toronto. He was excited then, and he was right to be. This whole 12-track album is a great listen, with multiple highlights and a lot of things for country music fans to love.
Before we ended our call we asked him if he could explain the album in a few words, and he said, “This record, is really just about having fun and being true to yourself.”.
Note: Hicks’ Throw A Ball is one of the most emotional listens out there for me. The song is wonderful and sad and sweet and has all of the story-telling that I love in country music – with the bonus of feeling like I know exactly what every word feels like.
Related: New Tattoo – Tim Hicks Album Review & Interview
Honourable Mentions: Ashley McBride: Girl Going Nowhere // Brothers Osborne: Port Saint Joe // Dallas Smith: Acoustic Sessions Vol. 1 // Dierks Bentley: The Mountain // Jason Aldean: Rearview Town // Kacey Musgraves: Golden Hour // The Lovelocks: 20 Dollars In My Pocket // Shawn Austin: Shawn Austin // Sugarland: Bigger // Various Artists: Restoration: Reimagining the Songs of Elton John and Bernie Taupin
